Observation Narrative	Small patch (not much larger than 100 sq. m) of low Spartina alterniflora - Schoenoplectus robustus marsh along the edge of the York River and adjacent to taller and more extensive Spartina cynosuroides vegetation downstream. Stature of vegetation increases landward. A few ground nests are present in plot, but there is no evidence of muskrat "eat-outs." Surface water < 1 cm deep at 12:10 PM.
